There are three elements necessary for the spread of infection. First there has to be a source of an infective organism. This source can be endogenous or exogenous. Endogenous sources of infection reside on or in the host’s body. In contrast exogenous sources arise from outside. Second there has to be a mode of transmission. Described in below are the three primary modes of transmission, vertical, horizontal or contact. Lastly there has to be a susceptible host. Susceptibility of the host to infection generally is determined by the integrity of the host’s immune system and their ability to fend off the infective organism. (Alonzo, p.79)…
Furthermore, while watching the documentary, I was interested in how the ban of abortion impacted the national crime rates in the 1990’s and 2000’s. It was found that the cohort of children born between 1967 and 1969 had lower crime rates than those born prior to 1976. Meanwhile, the cohort of children born after 1970 had higher crime rates than those born prior to the ban of abortion. However, the degree of change of crime rates between these cohorts is minimal. However, Pop-Eleches does admit that there exist a variety of factors that contribute to the country’s crime rates, and that his findings are not dependent on the banning of abortion (Pop-Eleches 2006:767).…
Levitt and Dubner begin an argument with a murder crime of a woman called Kitty Genovese. Genovese was attacked by a man in a residential area and died because of the bystander effect. As New York newspaper reported, 38 people saw the murder but no one called the police or stop the assailant. This murder case astonished so many people and some people blamed the 38 residents, thought they're indifferent. Then, writers mention the rise of crime in the USA and analyze three reasons of this situation: the policy of releasing prisoners, post-war baby boom and violent TV show. (98-99) When I read this case, I feel angry about the 38 residents and think they're indifferent. At the same time, I also wonder why the residents are so apathetic. Maybe they thought other people will help Genovese; maybe they didn't…

Throughout the film, the Alcohol prohibition in the US in the early 20th century is used frequently as an example of what that kind of prohibition does to a society. Under that prohibition, people who died from alcohol poisoning went up by 600%! Prohibition of alcohol backfired. It became the rise of criminals in the US. For Example: Al Capone, one of the most powerful and notorious gangsters of all time. It didn´t make people stop drinking alcohol, it made people drink a lot more. People had a complete disregard for that prohibition.…
“in every clanging ambulance bell, in every scar on the faces of the pimps and their whores, in every helpless, newborn baby being brought into this danger, in every knife and pistol fight on the Avenue, and in every disastrous bulletin: a cousin, mother of six, suddenly gone mad, the children parceled out here and there; an indestructible aunt rewarded for years of hard labor by a slow, agonizing death in a terrible small room; someone's bright son blown into eternity by his own hand; another turned robber and carried off to jail. Crime became real, for example--for the first time--not as a possibility but as the possibility. (Sherard n.pag)…

This story mentions that “there was only one police car left…crime was ebbing, there was no need now for the police.”(pg 49) This city seems to have sacrificed one extreme for the other; crime for freedom. Crime brings grief and sadness upon its victims, yes; however without that contrast of despair, joy and happiness mean nothing. Without the ability to choose, either bad or good, they’ve enslaved themselves to technology.…
